Why I need time on my own.

05. Nov. 2007 von Robert Günther in Motivation

This post really holds a lot of value for me as I keep struggeling explaining people why I love spending time alone and what I take out of these precious moments. Working as a Sales Guy gives me the opportunity to get in contact with lots of ppl every day on the phone, via email or personally in a meeting. Quite often at 6pm I find myself not only happy that the day is over but really longing for some quite time with noone around me.

Over my years at the university I discovered that I can be most creative and relax the best while being totally on my own. I can totally focus on whatever I’m doing, I can dive deep into something or just sort stuff out that kept bothering me over the week. Very important as well is the fact, that after these few minutes our hours I got just for me, I really begin to look forward to the next “human contact”, meaning that this time improves my appreciation of human contact the next time I have it :)

Speaking of this, I found a great article on the ririanproject blog, stating the Benefits of Spending Time Alone, and How to Do It. I agree to all the points given there and would like to end this post with the same quote by Henry David Thoreau given there:

“I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
